Lets give this another try then. Weekend soon and no beer general.

KBS 2015, nice beer, not up the hype i recon but still one of the best stouts out there, wish one could buy more than two where i am, probably will never have this one again after these bottles are gone unless Founders expand their production of the stuff!

Every time you guys have a beer thread it makes me sad. The only liquor store near me has one of the worst selections of beer imaginable. Maybe a couple dozen different kinds and none of them are interesting. It's all major US brands.

It's pretty much impossible for that stuff to live up to the insane amount of hype behind it. This year's wasn't as good as last year's was but still very good. FYI it's not worth aging more than 5-6 months.

I'm gonna be drinking pic related and Bayou Teche's biere joi. Never heard of them but they're from the south and have good reviews. A coffee, cacao, and chili pepper dubbel could be really good or really gimmicky so I guess I'll find out which one it is.

I agree on the hype thing for KBS.

There are so many other good bourbon barrelled beers out there now that KBS has really been living on hype alone.

Agreed. I had it last year and it was one of the best beers I had ever had. But I had only begun drinking nicer beers around the summer of 2013. After an entire extra year of drinking absurdly delicious imperial triple double fancy schmancy 500 year bourbon barrel stouts this year's KBS was just another really good one and nothing worthy of celebrity.

It's fake pleasure and trashy. It's like the guy who buys a 500$ designer gear knob for his 1500$ car. Or listens to jazz music from video games.

If he just drank the beer from the bottle like a normal person there wouldn't be a problem. Or at least, make sure you don't live a mundane life in a beyond mundane home before starting to focus on making your beer drinking fancy.

Why would you drink nice beer from a bottle in your own home? It's a five dollar glass for a $2-4 beer so your analogy is pretty inaccurate. If you're out somewhere I get it, but why not? I wouldn't go to the trouble of using a different glass for each beer like OP has, but I'll definitely use a snifter or an irish pint glass whenever I'm drinking at home. It only adds to the experience.

I bought myself a 4 pack at my local Total Wine for 13$(yes I know, it's expensive).
Anyone have alternatives I can try? I've had Sierra Nevada Torpedo IPA and honestly, it's a good beer but taking more than a couple sips at a time is wretched. I don't like big hops, waaay too bitter. Malty booze all the way.

I have got two newer beers from Victory. The Kirsch Gose and Sour Monkey.

The Sour Monkey was alright, underwhelming like the base Golden Monkey is, however, I wanted to try a sour beer, and it was not very expensive, about $10 for the 750ml bottle. Actually, it is a bit expensive for my blood, but as far as sour beer goes it was fairly reasonable.

Not many distinct flavors or aromas, and I could't really taste the Golden Monkey aspect at all except for some fruity tripel taste lingering in my mouth once the sour subsided. Definitely tart though.

Any bourbon barrel-aged beer like BBA Narwhal, KBS, and Good Island Bourbon County. You may also like regular stouts/imperial stouts if you like those.

Rochefort 10, and any other Trappist/Abbey ales really. They are all pretty similar, but with subtle distinctions that make it worth choosing one over the other. Look for Chimay and Westmalle. Unibroue is also good if you can find it, although their beers tend to have spicier characteristics.

Also the chisel analogy is invalid, you didn't think it though. A screwdriver will make a less clean split than a chisel, and the screwdriver is almost useless for removing material.

Another invalid analogy. Cinder blocks and plywood doesn't looks as good, isn't dimensioned the same and isn't as stable as an actual table. On the other hand, both a screwdriver and a chisel will open a bottle EXACTLY as good and fast as a bottle opener.
So to answer your first question:
1. Because in all probability, something that can be used as a bottle opener will be closer at hand than the actual bottle opener
2. Why would you even have an actual bottle opener to begin with? It serves no function other than opening bottles and you already have several tings that does that just as well.

It's not a fancy, craft beer. It's a cheap beer, and it's the best one. Completely incomparable to the Buds and Millers you can get for the same price.

It's a party beer, imo. Outside of that scenario, you should obviously drink something better. The Yuengling in my fridge is leftover from a party.

tbqh I... don't like it a bit from a can. vastly prefer bottle. the crack was OK and the smell was good but all i got was a mouthful of suds and that 'canny' tastem and the bitterness and flavor didn't set in until well after I swallowed. I actually did the "wine breathing funny sucking sounds" to see if I could taste it

It's just fine in a glass, but I did not like the can experience at all.

It's a fucking delicious traditional lager with it's own yeast, a distinct bittered taste and aroma and a great cask pour.

and it is also cheap. These things are not mutually exclusive.

I had a backwoods bastard tonight.

First time I had it, it was very fresh. Tasted too much like bourbon - like a shot of whiskey dropped into a beer.

Now it has almost exactly 7 months on it, and its much nicer to drink. The bourbon flavour works well with the beer now. Tastes like vanilla, nuts, and kinda like creme brulee.

I'm just mad because I always heard you people talk about how great Yuengling is, then when I finally made my way to the south I tried it and it was entirely generic adjunct lager

I've had both beers a number of times. They're on the better end of generic, but Yuengling is far superior. It's a preference thing and everyone has a favorite. The price isn't that far apart.

I usually drink everything I buy that night. A month ago I was already drunk and bought a 4 pack to Ten Fidy. I passed out after three so I had the last one the next day.

I'm currently drinking a 22oz bottle of this from my Liter sized glass. It's not bad but it tastes a little strange for an IPA. My brother's father in law gave it to me for my birthday. I wouldn't go out of my way for this. It has a ton of dead yeast in it which I'm used to because I bottle condition my home brew but I usually expect more from commercial ventures. I literaly can't see anything on the other side of the glass because it's so clowdy and I had this bottle sitting in my fridge upright for a few days because I saw all the yeast floating around in it.

If you're an alcoholic like me, you'll eventually tear through the end of the lighter and a long stream of butane will rocket out.

I was actually in Tampa yesterday and found a small local brewery called Angry Chair. It was hip as fuck, but the beers were awesome. We tried their red sour, raspberry Berliner weisse, German chocolate stout, imperial fudge stout, coconut maple barkeywine, kolsch, and ipa. Brought a growler of the ipa home just because they didn't do growlers of the barleywine, but both were incredible.

Definitely well worth checking out of you haven't.

God damned Blaecorn Unidragon, with about half a case of 60 minute to sip on when it's done.

This is the first russian imperial stout I've tried and it's fucking blowing my mind, what are some other ones to try that I can get around MA?

I felt dirty pouring it out of the can but it was only to take this pic (and sort of to see the color).

Anyone else from the midwest have any Tin Man beers? They're from Indiana. I don't want to sound like a shill but Rosenweiss and this Damascene Apricot Sour are fucking delicious. Circuit is the only one so far I've not liked much, had it at a bar once and it was only okay.

Spend several months spending $20 a week or so on a pack or two of semi-random (I look at beeradvocate to be a complete cocksucker) brews and find out what you like. You will not immediately have a taste for it. Personally, I spent a couple weeks drinking cheap beer and not liking it after turning 21 and then started ponying up more money for nicer stuff that I enjoyed progressively more. To speak of using a website again, try looking for highly or semi-highly rated beers from different categories, stouts, porters, IPAs, ales, etc. and learn what you like from them.

Everyone likes some beer. You've probably only tried beers you don't like. There's beers that taste like whatever you want them too. Belgian quads are common beers for getting non beer people into beers, specifically because they address the most common complaints.

They've got a lot of alcohol, so you don't need to drink much to get drunk.
Even still, they don't taste very acid-y at all. It's hard to tell they have all the booze they do in em.
They're not bitter like other beers. They're a lot more sweet.

Belgian wheats are also a good starting point. They have everything but the high alcohol content, and have a lot more flavors that non beer drinkers will enjoy, i.e. lemon, orange.

But at some point I'm talking out my ass. There's no way to tell what kind of beer you'll like, their's so many wildly different varieties. Just go to costco, grab a few variety packs, and enjoy.

>I don't really like beer, what can I do to change this?
Start with wine coolers. They are fruity flavored malt beverages now. Find something you can palate. I like citrus > berry flavors, personally. So maybe a mike's hard lemonade or a smirnoff ice for you. At some point it's too sweet or too much sour to drink all night. And beer is more for food pairing in my opinion. There's lime you can add to corona, or orange to blue moon.

I got into beer an entirely different way, but probably not the way the OP is talking about. When I was still a teen, my mom wanted to introduce me to alcohol before going to college, so the summer after high school she had me try a bunch of different wines, liquors, beers, etc. I ended up enjoying some of the better cheapo beers like Yeungling, Guinness, Molson, etc. When I'd comeback from college on various breaks, she'd let me pick some beer from the liquor store and shit. I'd go on beer advocate and shit, watch reviews and stuff before going home and ended up trying all the best stuff.

Now I'm a 23 year old beer lover, never really got drunk at any parties because I didn't need too.

Awesome parenting strategy too.

The dubbels and tripels I've had had a tangy sweetness to them. Can't recall well, but I assume the quadrupel is stronger.

I had that last week. Less flavorful/sour than I imagined it would be, but good beer.

>>6603701

had it only once, but very good.


Had this a couple weeks ago with splurging, very thick but full of flavor. Definitely worth the novelty.

I read the beer advocate entry, and it didn't seem all that descriptive. I grabbed two big bottles of high abv beers from the store today, and could only drink one tonight. The Belgian Quad was the second bottle I'm saving for tomorrow, so I'm trying to get HYPE'D. How do they compare to beers like high abv stouts or sours?

[Anonymous No.6606563]

>Less flavorful/sour than I imagined it would be,
Well, it is only a 4.5% abv or something like that after all. I admittedly have been drinking mostly high apv beers since fall/winter, so I had been expecting a low apv beer like the Victory Kirsch Gose to have not that much flavor, but I was presently surprised, kind of had the opposite experience you did.

We don't get Jammer out this way. It's good? I've been drinking Boulevard's hibiscus gose lately. Got some westbrook too for the two weeks it was available. I had Evil Twin's mission gose last night and it was extremely good. You wouldn't think something that's 4% could be so powerful but it was.

I've got a few in my fridge, this one is the cheaply massed produced to keep up with demands.
There are also 11% and a 19% but they're a bit harder to find. They taste like root beer as well.
